Texas Living Waters reviews a year of major growth and impact

Galveston Bay Foundation, Hill Country Alliance, National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club - Lone Star Chapter, The Nature Conservancy

We are pleased to share with you our 2022 Impact Report, Seeking Solutions for the People & Places of Texas.

From a series of high profile studies to welcoming The Nature Conservancy in Texas, 2022 was a year of major impact and growth at Texas Living Waters. We invite you to dive into Solutions to see where we’ve been this year and where we plan to go. You can re-watch our team’s testimony at the Capitol, listen to radio interviews with our experts, and download key reports — there’s a wealth of interactivity and extra content built into this year’s report.

As always, none of our work would be possible without your support, and we remain deeply grateful as you join us in the journey to build a more resilient, more equitable future for all of Texas.
